In the 'Showing Activity From' field, click on the drop-down arrow and select the date from which to start monitoring events.

If you want to accumulate information over time, leave the 'Relative Time' checkbox unselected to collect the data starting from the set date as the absolute date.

If you want to show information gathered only over the previous fixed interval, select the checkbox. The system then calculates the interval between the set date and today, displaying the length of that interval next to the date field. Adjust the selected date to give you the interval you require. The system will then provide information gathered only during that interval, rolling forward.
